  • Page 8: Adjustments Instant Reverse Device (Ird)

    ADJUSTMENTS INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD) The reverse device is an internal circuit that continuously monitors the motors current for increased draw. Turning the IRD1 right (CW more sensitive), or left (CCW less sensitive) in small increments will allow sensitivity adjustments (IF ARM DOES NOT REVERSE, DO NOT CONTINUE TO FORCE). The obstruction that you apply should STOP the arm.
